Not something I would consider doing as a norm. If a year or two or wear later I would consider it but then you would need to 'flame' the surface before bonding a skid plate on it. My own feeling is that impacts to the bow would break or loosen a kevlar skid plate.
Awesome boat, I love mine and use it on Alaska’s lakes and rivers.
Amazing boat!
action shot with Robson there I see! nice, well done
Indeed!
Hi Ray,
I recently bought a new Afon and I'm considering fitting it with Kevlar Skid Plates, any thoughts?
